Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is the second-generation gaming console developed by Microsoft and was released in January 2005.

The console features Microsoft's Xbox Live, a service that allows gamers to compete online and XBox Live Marketplace, for downloading purchased games and promototional content. In 2009, the device was supplemented by the Kinect, a peripheral which lets users interact with their games using gestures and spoken commands. In addition to gaming, Microsoft has positioned the XBox 360 as a media consumption device. Streaming video services like Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand and ESPN are available on the device via the XBox Live service.

In June 2012, Microsoft announced XBox Smartglass, a feature to integrate the gaming console with mobile and tablet devices.
